About

 

I’m a Scottish street photographer living in York, England. Shooting street photography on a Fujifilm X-T5 (although saving up for a Leica M11!). Carrying a camera with intent helps me to view the everyday differently. I love David Yarrow’s philosophy that a great image can be looked at for a long time; can probably never be taken again; and has something that tugs on the heart. Still searching for that elusive great image!

Photographer Elliott Erwitt sums it up well: “Photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

All profits from image sales go to support the Furaha Community Foundation School in the Huruma Slum of Nairobi, Kenya - you can also donate directly here. This is done through When I Grow Up (UK) which is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Register Number is SCO47647.
